When I was around 12-13 I was a passenger in a fatal car accident. The morning of we were going to take our sedan but I had a really weird feeling, I begged my grandfather to take the truck instead. I was very persistent. On the way there we were going down this country road about 55-60 mph when I looked to my right seeing a gold sedan that wasn’t appearing to stop at the stop sign. As soon as I went to scream out look out that’s when the impact happened. My head hit the window and I was knocked out or stunned it felt like we were rolling. The airbags did not deploy. I woke up to my grandmother trying to wake up my grandpa who was grey and unconscious. There were around 20 people surrounding the truck I was asking where is the other car?!! We were on top of the other car. We both were going around 60 mph and I still have ptsd from that car wreck. We were transported to the hospital and my grandfather told the doctors and paramedics how I begged him to take the truck. They just looked at him and said it’s a miracle you all survived in the truck in the car you would have been dead on impact. I wish I still had the pictures the whole right side of the truck was caved in. I still remember the sound. I had a severe concussion, my grandfather had a broken sternum. My grandmother suffered horrible bruising from the seatbelt and a broken leg I believe. I suffer from flashbacks when riding in the car at certain times
As the old saying goes "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Screwing around during a hurricane is beyond stupidity. The winds can slam objects through you like armor piercing bullets. It's not uncommon knowledge either. He got more than lucky.

@@kervet6046 if God have given is animal then it doesn't mean that God give us to eat them God give us because we are more intelligent and knowledgeable so we take care of them if someone gift you a puppy in your birthday and you said he gifted me this puppy and it's mine so I eat it ,no it is not for eating he gifted you this because you take care of it and play with it. God made animal and gifted us to take care of them and play with them not to eat them. I am weak in English so if there any mistake so sorry for that.. 🙂
@@fandaklada609 Actually, he didn't! There's a longer version of the vid on RU-vid that shows how me managed to get back to the original jetty without falling in. MsG
Sometimes reaction time is all it takes!! A few years ago, back in 1989, I was driving on a back country road here in New York, doing the speed limit which was "unposted", so I was driving 55 on the road. Suddenly from a dirt side road I saw a van dart out, stop for a split second and began to pull out in front of me!! I had no time to slow down, zero distance to stop in, and I had just enough time to scream at my wife in the passenger seat to "HOLD ON!"!! As the van ignored the stop sign completely, and pulled into the road in front of me, I aimed my 1988 Ford Tempo to the rear of the van and the dirt road it was pulling off of. As the front tire caught the edge of the dirt road I jerked the steering wheel back, forcing my Tempo up on the two driver's side wheels!! Now I am NOT a stunt driver by any means, but given the short amount of time I had to think about it, and given the speed and our trajectory I KNEW by doing this maneuver that I would miss the van completely and avoid and accident there! About 50 yards though on two wheels I gently aimed the car back onto the road, and gently steering the wheels to drop the passenger side tires back on the ground!! When I was finally able to stop the idiot in the van, didn't even stop to see if we were OK even though he was apparent he never actually stopped for the sign and cut us off!! I only wish that back in 1989 we had dash cameras, because to this day I am certain nobody actually believes this story......but it really made me freak having avoided a wreak as an "unofficial stunt driver"!!
You sir made my day. "A few years ago back in 1989" I feel so old and you made it seem like 32 isn't old lol. I believe you it was written with such absolution and such detail. You're a stunt driver when necessary. You did amazing and the idiot better have learnt that driving like that kills people. Keep being amazing and have the wondrful day you diserve.
*I always love watching videos of the luckiest people on caught camera. It's amazing to see how close some people come to disaster but manage to avoid it*
When I was in the Army as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, we were doing a training jump to prepare for Grenada. This was back in 1983. The wind was a little too strong for jumping that day, but we went anyway. Hundreds, or perhaps thousands of jumpers were in the sky at the same time. Upon my exit of the plane (C130) a big gust of wind flipped me upside down. After 4 seconds, my static line opened my chute while I was still inverted. The chute then wrapped around my right leg. As we were jumping from a mere 250 ft, there was no time to pull my reserve and even if I did, it probably would have gotten tangled up in my main chute. So as fast as I could I unwrapped the chute from my leg. Looking back on this, I don't know how I accomplished this, but I did. I was then jerked upright and my chute finally opened less than 50 ft from the ground. I was supposed to turn into the wind, but there was no time. I was supposed to release my rucksack but there wasn't time. I slammed into the sand on the drop zone at least twice as fast as normal and then landed on the wrong side of my body where my rifle was. The wind dragged me across the drop zone while I struggled to release one side of my chute. I switched to trying the other side and it finally released, thereby collapsing my chute and bringing me to a stop. With a huge sigh of relief, I closed my eyes for a second and let the air that I was holding in my lungs out. When I opened my eyes and looked up, I learned that another jumper was about to land on me and had to roll over while he landed on my chute. I know this sounds unbelievable, but it really did happen. Somehow I was completely uninjured. But that is not quite the end of the story. Immediately after gathering up my chute, I had to find the Gamma Goat that we dropped from another plane and drive it over to the spot where the howitzer landed and hook up. Then I had to find the rest of my squad and the firing range, then send off a round. Following that, we were all in formation, being told results. I actually can't remember how we did, because of something the battery commander said to me. He asked who was the 5th man out of the plane, and I answered that I was. He then told me something that I will never forget. He said that I, (the guy who got flipped upside down and most definitely should have died or got severely injured), had the best exit out of the plane in the entire battery! I can only assume that he meant that I jumped out the farthest, and that also he did not see what happened to me after that.
@@s.h.3622 I have told that story many times before, but that was the very first time I ever wrote the words down. It's all true. However, it was not the first time that I almost died.
5:32 Now, what in the wide world of sports possessed him to even try that? When thunder roars, get your butt indoors. Jumping in a pool during an active thunderstorm looks like a more electrifying version of Russian roulette. A strike on the water would have been just as dangerous.
When i was once at school, a thunderstorm happened. All of my friends and teachers went under shelter whilst one of my friends dragged me under shelter and everyone was scared but when i saw a lightning strike hit right infront of the shelter i was under, I started screaming and crying whilst my friend Eryk started to cry too. Thankfully we're safe now.
I once went bombing down a long hill on my road bike at over 45mph in northern Michigan. I got to a cross road. Banked over to the right still going over 35mph. I decided to go through the next intersection as fast as I could. As I did I noticed a white Pontiac Fiero coming down the hill to the intersection. I decided to go for it. As I went through the intersection I looked down and noticed that he just barely missed me by less than a inch. I was very lucky not to get hit. This was a great video. Thank you.

I'm a gymnast of about 29 years, I still practice at 35 yro and yes it has save me from some horrendous falls. I used to skateboard in my teens and 20s I also did Parkour/freerunning, I have 12 years of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and 15 years of muay thai training. Gymnastics has opened me up to many sports and I tend to be good at all of them. Flexibility and spacial awareness are helpful in all sports and Gymnastics helps people learn those abilities. I have been coaching full time for 18 years at the same gym. It is an amazing sport and teaching children to use there bodies in ways that aren't common is quite exhilarating. I've coached both boys and girls competition teams and also can fought on long island ny.
I had lightning strike really close to me as well on video. I could taste a coppery taste in my mouth afterward if you don’t think it was close. I posted the video on Facebook. Despite the fact it was poor quality because it was an older flip phone. But you can still clearly see how close it was. I never figured out what it hit however.
In 1975, I was on my way to check on the Cotton harvest when my 260Z emerged from trees into the path of a Spray plane that was doing a 180 to commence spraying. The landing wheel was 4 inches over the top of the 260Z's hood as we ntersected at 60 mph. When I rang the pilot later that evening to congratulate him on the "near miss" He said - "What near miss?" - He had not even been aware that he was so close to a nasty accident.
When I was about 10 yo. I and my cousin were playing in my grandparent's barn, in the hayloft. We were swinging out over the manure pile on a rope in the hay loft. Our grandfather saw us and he came and said, boys you do know that rope isn't attached to anything, right? Then he showed us. We were so freaked out. We were incredibly lucky.
That 7:30 pool shot..i can relate to me..same happened to me..it was in club pool..i am swimmer but i tried for some flippy dives..😁... ..the coaches watching me and my friends got terribly angry on us and beaten..😅😁
my lucky story happened when i was very young. i was like, 3 years old when this happened. i was on a piano bench and started rolling around on it. the adults were in another room, so there was no supervision. then i fell off the piano bench and split my chin open. the adults heard in time and took me to the hospital. I was extremely lucky to not die of blood loss there, and if the adults hadn't noticed, i would have not survived. so thats my story. child vs. death risk of a piano bench.
I was once very lucky to have my brother in the passenger seat when I was driving. Normally I'm a competent driver, but I once had a lapse in concentration when I was about to turn right in Tesco. If I had done I likely would've smashed head on into an oncoming car, but my brother quickly noticed what I was doing and quickly told me to stop, and I did.
4:48 this is not a motorcycle. In the Netherlands, where this took place, a motorcycle belongs on the street. He was in the bicycle lane, thus makes it a scooter. We call this either a snorscooter (max 25 km/h allowed) or bromscooter (max 45 km/h allowed). Seeing he's wearing a helmet, he has a bromscooter, which by my knowledge does belong on the streets and not the bicycle lane, however some snorscooter users do wear helmets, as where only bromscooter users are required to wear a helmet and a snorscooter user does not. This will change in 2023 though). Anyways, this is not a motorcycle. It could be a motorscooter, but the one in this situation has a takeaway (food service) case on its back, which is never a motorscooter.
This video didnt need commentary furthermore, you understand a car being hit by lightning does nothing to the passengers right? Lucky or not it wouldnt matter
@@jakeg3126 commentary and transitions, both not necessary. But I guess they need to do something to clips, in order to avoid getting a copy right strike.
